Yep. That bottom trim makes the car! The buckets and the awesome wheel covers are a bonus.
.......Not to mention it is 1300 miles away so I can't just run over and get pics....
That color on the top is awesome. The factory must not have had any women in the styling group at that time, to offer only black or white with that body and interior color, an all-male team is the only explanation...I've never had a negative comment about it not being "original", in fact just the opposite. Lot's of good comments about the change in color.
Always get a kick out of those old car value guides. For kicks I plugged in a Fury GT 440+6 & I come up with $22k for a #2 car (which is super nice condition). Of course deduct 10% from that for no AC which wasn't even available. Sign me up for one of those!Hey! Sounds like that car might be a good score. . . Depending. . . Here is a price guide I always use, when trying to estimate values - C-Body or anything else. From what you have said about the car so far, I would think it is between a No. 4 car and a No. 5 car. There are factors that add to the estimated price, such as the 440 engine (if original), etc. Take a look:
1969 DODGE POLARA Value
At any rate, you can use this guide during negotiations with the seller.
One of those rare “no superlite” cars.
Enlighten the ignorant (me) on your comment...One of those rare “no superlite” cars.

1970 PLYMOUTH FURY GT Value
Of course a VW bus in comparable condition (with a mighty 40HP) can be worth $91k. As kids we used to laugh at them trying to make it up a hill.
1962 Volkswagen TRANSPORTER Value
Over at Plymouth they may have had some women. Either that or the guys were smoking something funny...an all-male team is the only explanation...
